UPDATE: In that vein, wouldn't Obama's buzzing of NYC count as the largest incident of domestic terrorism in the last seven years? There was panic in the streets - actual terror - and buildings were evacuated.

UPDATE: It's good to know New Yorkers still remember 9/11, and unfortunate for The One the he's been the one (as it were) to remind them.

I remember, back in the day, being told that my training base in San Antonio was closer to Managua than to Washington, DC.

So, here I am today in Atlanta, Georgia, reading the news from Alabama. From a place about two hours drive away from me. Oh, and on the other side of the highway from me, it's Mexicans, thirty to a house, for a mile or two. Oh, and we have had B&Es in our neighborhood, to the point where the wife is building what I recall from my military training being described as "point defenses."

My guess is that Mexicans will have to be slaughtering State Department employees in their DC apartments before the border with Mexico will be an issue for the Imperial Federal Government.

Because, you know, all those Democrat voters.

Assholes.

Why, oh why, do Americans vote for Democrats? All they do is buy themselves momentary ecstasy, at the cost of extended pain.

I hear that Chavez gave The One the sort of kiss that tickles the tonsils, down there in Trinidad.

And the one smiled and slurped.

Anyone heard anything different?

I mean, leading into this conference, the Beeb was all a-twitter about how Chavez was going to beat The One about the head, tear him a new one. Instead, it looks like they 69'd each other and came out smiling.

Shouldn't people be expected to pay *something* for their medical care? Otherwise, well, it turns into a race to the bottom, doesn't it?

Of course, thanks to The One, you soon won't be able to see a doctor, not for love, nor money. So don't become indigent, just know your first serious illness will be your last. The upside? Well, you'll be free to take that once-in-a-lifetime (literally) round-the-world trip you've always dreamed of.

Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely.

Huh. So, I guess the bitter clingers, and those fond of the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution best be watching their backs.

Oh, and vets come in for their share of suspicion. As do people who would close the borders to new Democrat voters illegal immigrants.
